I was driving home
with my son Giacomo, 15, on the A40 when I suddenly saw a small plane coming
down. Out of nowhere, it1 some 200 yards away from where we were 2 , overturning and bursting into flames.
We were going 70
miles an hour and I managed to3; otherwise we would have
crashed into it ourselves. I jumped out, 4 Giacomo in the car. I remember 5 at him to stay there since we really didn't
have time to mess around.
Flames were coming
out of the cockpit (驾驶舱) and I could hear screaming, so I climbed under the wing
and tried to 6 the windows in but failed, and with the heat
of the 7 coming over the top of the plane, I 8 I might have to give up or I'd be in great
danger myself. I found the small windows at the back of the plane had cracked (
破 裂 ), so my best bet was to kick those
through. It9 and, looking back, we were unbelievably10; otherwise, it would have been a
completely different11.
I pulled a teenage
girl and boy out. Then another guy, Joel Snarr, arrived on the12 to help at just the right time. I don't think
I would have been able to get the 13 out — he was a big guy. 14 , Joel seized him by the arms and got him out
just in time. I could 15 straight away Joel had a military background
by how he 16 himself. We'd just got all three of them,
Stuart Moore, who'd flown the plane, and his nephew and niece, to a safe17 when the plane exploded.
The emergency
services 18 pretty quickly, and then they did their duty.
When I got back to my 19, Giacomo and I stared at each other,
almost laughing in 20. It was a very strange moment — things
like this only happen in films.
